Hi,
I'm having a problem with an old Windows 98 MSDOS game on
Windows 2000. When I try to install the game, I get this error:
------------------------------
<Shell Error> --

-- Can't make CDGAMES directory "\CDGAMES\CDGAMES"
(Permission denied)

Fatal Error
Press any key to continue...
-------------------------------

This is because Windows 2000 uses a different file system,
right? How can I get around this problem? I even tried the
APCOMPAT.exe program located in the SUPPORT folder on the
Windows 2000 cd, but to no avail.

Thank you.

Its sounds like you dont have permission to create the directory - W2K (can)
use NTFS, which has file permissions. Are you logged in as an administrator?
If you are and its not working then try and create the directory it mentions
here.
